Information about Conflict Resolution Services Conflict Resolution Services mediators recognize that each case is different and unique to the parties. Individualized design considerations are required due to the diversity in subject matter and complexity as well as the many personalities involved. The CRS mediators know that mediators must have creative approaches and styles to help parties build a bridge towards resolving their conflicts. It is a proactive, individual approach that can be used to bring cases to a close. This encourages dispute resolution early. This results in both transactional cost savings as well as a reduction of emotional costs. The approach is applicable to disputes within family businesses, professional associations, large corporations and for the catastrophically injured. Conflict Resolution Services mediators use a variety of tools, including co-mediation and staggered start, premediation caucuses (pre-mediation design), focused follow-up, and pre-mediation caucuses. Without acknowledging the emotional aspects of each case, conflict resolution tools will not suffice. When dealing with family members, business partners, professionals or those who are seriously hurt, CRS mediators use empathy, compassion, honesty, respect and integrity. CRS aims to use creativity, pragmatism and intelligence to resolve conflict. CRS is open to taking risks and will use non-traditional methods of resolving disputes. Our proactive approach and creativity are applied to construction, employment and health care.
